Choirbooks from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The book is large enough for the entire choir to read from one book. Once the printing of music became easier and more commonplace, choirbooks fell out of favor, replaced by smaller, cheaper, and easier to handle books. A choirbook was a major investment. At larger cathedrals choirbooks were sometimes lavishly decorated and illuminated.

From archives of Prague castle, photo by M.Peterka (Source: Lost and Found in Prague) I love images from the past that show readers interacting with old books. They present a little piece of book history captured inside a piece of art, usually a photograph or a painting... This is the best I have seen in a while. What’s so appealing is the size of the books and how tiny the librarian seems. She is so into the book that she does not even seem [to] notice us. Awesome!

I LIKE BIG BOOKS AND I CANNOT LIE (From archives of Prague castle, photo by M.Peterka). Late-medieval choir books, so large so that everyone in the choir could read the music while performing. Before paper replaced vellum, book production was hideously expensive and copying the music took years involving several skilled professionals (tanners, binders, icopyists, etc).

Benedict Cumberbatch reading Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Someone else described his voice as warm milk, chocolate, and honey pouring over you.
